I want to talk about horror films and why I likethem and what my favourite types are. When I was young, I watched the classic horrorfilms like 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and 'FridayThe 13th'. My mum told me that when I wasabout six, she came downstairs in the middle ofthe night because there was a noise, and it wasme watching 'The Omen' on TV in the dark onmy own. So I guess I've always liked horrorfilms. I really like what I called 'slasher films' - thereally gory, bloody, violent films like 'FinalDestination' and 'The Hills Have Eyes'. I just findthem quite funny and I like the special effects. Idon't really find them scary at all. I think thescariest sort of films are the ones that are verytense, like Hitchcock films. I think the scariest one for me is 'The Birds'because it's just very sinister the way that thebirds come and sit and look at the people. Andyou know that it's going to be really bad verysoon. But I think my favourite ... favourite sort of horrorfilms are zombie movies. I've watched loads ofzombie movies and I really like them. Again Idon't really think they are very scary. 'Dawn Of The Dead' is my absolute favourite horror film Ithink. It's a film where people just wake up onemorning and there are zombies everywhere. If azombie bites you, you turn into a zombie. Andthe survivors end up in a shopping mall in ashopping centre and they are surrounded byzombies. And it does not have a happy ending. There is a British comedy horror film called'Shaun Of The Dead' which is a bit of a joke onthe idea of the 'Dawn Of The Dead' which is alsoreally great. The most recent one I watched wasa New Zealand film called 'Black Sheep' whichis about zombie sheep. That was pretty funny aswell. The most recent horror film I watched was on aplane last time I went back to the UK. It was aStephen King film based on a Stephen Kingbook - I think a short story. And it was called'The Mist'. It was about people who lived in asmall town in America and there was ahurricane, or typhoon as we call them here. Andafter the typhoon, they wanted to go into town toget some supplies to fix up the house. And itstarted to get misty or foggy. It was quite astrange mist - it didn't look normal. And thesepeople ended up in a hardware store in the townall trapped together because there were sort ofmonsters in the mist - these unrealistic giantcreatures that were in the mist that were killingpeople. There was quite a lot of blood and gutsand people died in horrible ways which is what Ilike about horror films. I would recommend it ifyou like horror films as much as I do.
